Hello, the golf club and course went quite a few years ago now and they’ve converted the greens and course back to its natural state. The public can walk all over it now which we could never do when growing up around there. No parts of Beckenham Place Park has been sold off for housing.
The Old Bromley Road entrance used to be a bombsite where we played as kids. On 5th November local lads would build a bonfire for all the local kids and in the early summer there was a May Queen and a Maypole on the playing fields.
@@lynettegregory8306 I’m can’t remember the bomb site but I was walking over there since the mid 1950s so it must have been there then. At the moment they are trying to improve everything though frankly I wished they ( the council) had left evening as it was. But, it’s all ok and I’m sure it will look better
@@lynettegregory8306 the beckenham place park video must have given you a lot of memories as, yes, I did include the flats where you used to live. The music is very emotional as well!

American servicemen used to play baseball there on Sundays in the 50s.
And I lived in those flats😊
